LAPD Hopes to Add High-Tech Partner to Force, "COPLINK is part of a new science of data-mining algorithms that allows a computer to make high-speed connections that would take a human weeks. More than 100 agencies nationwide use COPLINK. The latest to sign up is the San Diego Police Department, joining Boston, Minneapolis, Phoenix, all the police agencies in Alaska, and the first agency, the Tucson Police Department... The systems, [LAPD Assistant Chief] Gascon said, provide a kind of instant institutional memory, like a veteran detective who never forgets. Gascon said high-tech law enforcement tools such as COPLINK are the wave of the future...COPLINK was born in a university lecture room, the fortuitous result of a police office who went back to college..."

"Bring Search to the Net"
Science  17 January, 1997 Cover Article


"Now, with little fanfare and no sonic boom, Schatz and Hsinchun Chen of the University of Arizona have opened what they claim is the `first crack in the semantic barrier.' What they've done is lay the groundwork for a system that would provide a user with key words needed to search for information across fields."

"Computation Cracks `Semantic Barriers' Between Databases"
Science  7 June 1996


"A year ago, no one would have thought of information sciences as posing a supercomputer problem, and here it is, overnight, blossoming into one of the largest users of supercomputer time at NCSA. And, since the results of the computation will be useful to many of the faculty and students accessing the Illinois Digital Library testbed, the results of this work have wider applicability than any previous supercomputing application."

Larry Smarr, Director
NCSA  (National Center for Supercomputing Applications)
